1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), accounting for >85% of LC cases, remains a therapeutic challenge due to its low 5‑year survival rate, tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance. The SRY‑related high‑mobility group‑box (SOX) family comprises transcription factors involved in the initiation and progression of NSCLC. These factors regulate epithelial‑mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis, interact with epidermal growth factor receptor/KRAS pathways to influence tumor invasion and promote chemotherapy resistance by sustaining tumor stemness. The present review aimed to summarize the expression patterns, molecular mechanisms and clinical relevance of SOX family members (such as SOX2, SOX4 and SOX9) in NSCLC, as well as their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and the application of emerging technology in elucidating their functions. The present review aimed to provide a theoretical foundation for precision diagnostics and therapeutics to foster more effective NSCLC treatment.
